DR Congo's BPEA initially reported the aircraft suffered a punctured tyre on landing rating the occurrence a serious incident.
The BPEA's website, available during 2019, disappeared during the year stating access was forbidden. On Sep 28th 2020 The Aviation Herald received an interim statement dated Jan 21st 2020 indicating the investigation is in progress, held up by financial trouble. Nonetheless the draft report was finished, the FDR and CVR readout and analysis had been completed. The BPEA claims a preliminary report had been released on Feb 25th 2019, however, The Aviation Herald had never seen such a preliminary report, also the Internet archives do not reveal the report had been released onto their website. DR Congo media reported by December 2019 that the work of BPEA has effectively been halted/suspended due to lack of funds, training and staff causing indefinite delays to investigations and final reports.
The accident aircraft was seen (and photographed) landing in Johannesburg (South Africa) on Feb 3rd 2020.
